My Nexus Player is very good with the Tablo, but Mi box is a little better! Go for it. :slight_smile:

My Walmart had about 15 of them in stock when I went last night. The electronics guy said they have been selling like crazy. Well deserved - it’s a really good value. I have bought 1 as a present and will likely buy a couple more this year.

I went to Walmart to pick one up and was told they didn’t have any. I then went home and checked online and it was available for pickup that day so I bought it online and picked it up an hour or so later. Gotta love Walmart! I actually put it on a Roku tv that was struggling with Tablo and it is fantastic.
